Double click the custom sheet to open. The example below is an internal registration form.

On the left is a preview of the fields and elements currently on the sheet and their location on the page. Sheet layout displayed onscreen will match what is printed. If the sheet is multiple pages, a darker dotted line represents the page break. In the example above:

A background image is used for the static text (black).

Input fields and checkboxes (blue) have been superimposed on the image to indicate data entry areas.

The input fields correspond to fields in the database. If completed electronically, the entered data can be Imported into the database.

To move fields, drag them with the mouse, or use the arrows on the keyboard.

To move the fields in large increments, press Shift while pressing the arrows.

Hints

If using a sheet for Web Forms Feature, the view of the sheet is dependent on the browser the web form is viewed in. If a browser doesn't support a font, a different font will be substituted. This can affect layout of the sheet. We recommend using common fonts (e.g. Times New Roman, Arial, Courier) and testing sheets on a device and browser you plan to support. If fonts are substituted, Static Text Fields may need to be larger to fit all text.

Single Page Sheets: If a single page sheet, make sure all fields and elements are located within the page.

Adding Initial Boxes: To add initial boxes so a patient can distinctly acknowledge sections of a form, you have two options:

Create a pseudo margin so you have room on the right or left side of the form. Add checkboxes as the initial boxes and a signature box at the bottom. Patients can check the boxes, then sign at the bottom to establish identity and acknowledgment.

If using touch screens, use Rectangles larger than checkboxes, labeled 'initials'. Customer can then use a finger or stylus to initial.

Checkboxes are usually sufficient for an electronic form because electronic signatures will be invalidated if the state of a checkbox changes (e.g. from unchecked to checked).
